In a rare public appearance, The One of Vox Controli made the following announcement to the nation today. He asked that I share this with the international community.

The One - speaking from the central balcony of the Palace of the Voice, in Vox Controli (10pm, est, March 5, 1400 BC)
"It is with a heavy heart that I speak to you today. It was not long ago that we undertook our noble initiative in social engineering - the saving of Lux Invicta from extinction. Our intent was indeed both noble and kind-hearted. At considerable risk and expense to ourselves, we 'gifted' a city, renamed Portia, to Lux Invicta, thus allowing them to emigrate their refugees from the continental conflict. That was a conflict which we knew little of, and which we were not part of. We did not, and have not, taken "sides." We, the Voxians, simply did not want to see a civilization exit the world scene this early in our collective history.
It is, therefore, extremely unfortunate that this initiative did not succeed. I could discuss the numerous in's and out's of this complex issue and the resulting problems, but I believe it is sufficient if I say that the situation clearly became untenable for Vox Controli.
I announce to you today that Vox Controli has taken back the city known as Portia. This was not a decison that was taken lightly or easily.
Regrettably, Lux Invicta is no more."
